What makes RAC Online different?

The insurance cover offered by RAC Online is the same as our standard car insurance levels. The only difference? Because it’s a ‘self-service’ option, call centre support is limited. And that means that we can offer you lower admin fees when making changes online.

What does self-service insurance mean?

Self-service insurance is a time and hassle-saving way to manage your insurance policy. Rather than needing a helpline to make changes to your policy or details, with self-service customers can do it themselves, online. Online support is also available via live chat 7-days a week.
